Chapter 7, Problem 68.
Obtain v 0 for t > 0 in the circuit of Fig. 7.133.
Figure 7.133
For Prob. 7.68.
Chapter 7, Solution 68.
This is a very interesting problem and has both an important ideal solution as well as an
important practical solution. Let us look at the ideal solution first. Just before the switch
closes, the value of the voltage across the capacitor is zero which means that the voltage
at both terminals input of the op amp are each zero. As soon as the switch closes, the
output tries to go to a voltage such that the input to the op amp both go to 4 volts. The
ideal op amp puts out whatever current is necessary to reach this condition. An infinite
(impulse) current is necessary if the voltage across the capacitor is to go to 8 volts in zero
time (8 volts across the capacitor will result in 4 volts appearing at the negative terminal
of the op amp). So vo will be equal to 8 volts for all t > 0.
What happens in a real circuit? Essentially, the output of the amplifier portion of the op
amp goes to whatever its maximum value can be. Then this maximum voltage appears
across the output resistance of the op amp and the capacitor that is in series with it. This
results in an exponential rise in the capacitor voltage to the steady-state value of 8 volts.
vC(t) = Vop amp max(1 – e-t/(RoutC)) volts, for all values of vC less than 8 V,
= 8 V when t is large enough so that the 8 V is reached.

An RC circuit consists of a series connection of a 120-V source, a switch, a 34-M Ω
resistor, and a 15- µ F capacitor. The circuit is used in estimating the speed of a horse
running a 4-km racetrack. The switch closes when the horse begins and opens when the
horse crosses the finish line. Assuming that the capacitor charges to 85.6 V, calculate the
speed of the horse.

Chapter 7, Problem 85.
A simple relaxation oscillator circuit is shown in Fig. 7.145. The neon lamp fires when its
voltage reaches 75 V and turns off when its voltage drops to 30 V. Its resistance is 120 Ω
when on and infinitely high when off.
(a) For how long is the lamp on each time the capacitor discharges?
(b) What is the time interval between light flashes?

Chapter 7, Solution 85.
(a)
The light is on from 75 volts until 30 volts. During that time we
essentially have a 120-ohm resistor in parallel with a 6-µF capacitor.
v(0) = 75, v(∞) = 0, τ = 120x6x10-6 = 0.72 ms
v(t1) = 75 e − t1 / τ = 30 which leads to t1 = –0.72ln(0.4) ms = 659.7 µs of
lamp on time.
(b)
τ = RC = (4 × 106 )(6 × 10-6 ) = 24 s
Since v( t ) = v(∞) + [ v(0) − v(∞)] e - t τ
v( t 1 ) − v(∞) = [ v(0) − v(∞)] e - t1 τ
v( t 2 ) − v(∞) = [ v(0) − v(∞)] e- t 2 τ

Dividing (1) by (2),
v( t1 ) − v(∞)
= e( t 2 − t1 ) τ

For R = 1 MΩ ,
τ = RC = (1 × 106 )(2 × 10-6 ) = 2 s
t 0 = 2 ln (3) = 2.197 s

The circuit in Fig. 7.148(a) can be designed as an approximate differentiator or an
integrator, depending on whether the output is taken across the resistor or the capacitor,
and also on the time constant τ = RC of the circuit and the width T of the input pulse in
Fig. 7.148(b). The circuit is a differentiator if τ << T, say τ < 0.1T, or an integrator if τ
>> T, say τ > 10T.
(a) What is the minimum pulse width that will allow a differentiator output to
appear across the capacitor?
(b) If the output is to be an integrated form of the input, what is the maximum
value the pulse width can assume?
